Aomna: The fictional universe that is home to Gyrd
Gyrd (English pronunciation: GEERD) is a fictional planet located in a fictional universe called Aomna (English pronunciation: AWM-nah). Like the real-life universe, Aomna consists of galaxies, stars, planets, natural satellites, asteroids, and other types of astronomical systems and astronomical objects. In Aomna, astronomical systems, such as galaxies and planetary systems, are groups of astronomical objects, such as planets, natural satellites, and asteroids. Aomna, as a whole, is thought to be cylindrical in shape, and Aomna is so large, only a tiny fraction of it can be viewed from any one point in Aomna. Aomna is at least trillions of light-years in radius from its center, if not infinitely large. Astronomical bodies and astronomical objects do not orbit a common barycenter of Aomna.
The center of Aomna has not been definitively defined, and Gyrdian astronomers have hypothesized, but not proven, that an extremely large galaxy that is not in the portion of Aomna that is visible from Gyrd is centered on the center of Aomna, and the purported existence of such a galaxy plays a role in the mythology of some Gyrdian religions. However, since Aomna orbits Hysb, and Hysb is part of a intergalactic binary star, or a collection of two stars that rotate around a common barycenter and are not within any galaxy, consisting of Hysb and Zorl, Gyrd, or, more specifically, the center of Gyrd's inner core, can be thought of as the center of the visible portion of Aomna, even though all life on Gyrd lives thousands of kilometers from the center of Gyrd's inner core, and the common barycenter of Hysb and Zorl can be thought of as the adjusted center of the visible portion of Aomna. The visible portion of Aomna has an approximately 47 million light-year radius from any point on Gyrd that is at Gyrd's mean sea level. Since Gyrd is an oblate spheroid, the visible portion of Aomna is an oblate spheroid as well.
